Anybody ever build an Astron Streak, launch it with a C6-7 ... AND GET IT BACK??
In my early, early rocket days, 10-11 years old, back in 1968-69, I think everybody I knew tried it.
In the 5-6 years I was semi-seriously into rocketry as a kid, I bet I built a dozen of those little mofos. You had a shot to get em back if you launched it with a 1/2A6-4 or maybe an A8-5, but anything beyond that - forget it.
I mean, what the heck, how many rockets could you buy for 50 cents? So of course you always wanted to see how high it could really go. Paint it day-glow orange or something, then rack it up and let it rip.
Hasta la vista, babyyyy...!!!
